Dear colleagues, New in the Infolep monthly review: below the list of new publications you will find a section with upcoming events. Last week the WHO organized the global consultation meeting on the WHO draft Global Leprosy Strategy 2021-2030. National Leprosy Programme managers, partners and persons affected gathered to discuss on how to guide leprosy control efforts to realize a leprosy-free world. According to the Regional Director this next Strategy is 'more ambitious, shifting the paradigm towards "zero leprosy", which includes zero leprosy-related disability and zero discrimination'. Read the full speech here. Infolep aims to increase its accessibility by sharing publications in multiple languages. If you come across a key publication of which you need a translated version, kindly inform us and we will try to acquire a translated version through our partners. This monthly review consists of interesting, both practical and research publications on, among others, PEP, mental wellbeing,  COVID-19,  drug resistance and bioarchaeology of leprosy. Enjoy the read! Feel free to contact me to receive full-text versions if these cannot be found through the Infolep portal. Also, I would be happy to assist you with literature searches. Warm regards, Anniek Akerboom Infolep Coordinator www.leprosy-information.org a.akerboom@infolep.org
